KINGSTON, R.I. -\u2013 April 4, 2014 \u2013 The 7th annual \u201cGreek Life Alumni Award of Distinction” was presented recently to Amintha Cinotti, a 1979 graduate of the 溏心vlog免费B站 and member of Sigma Kappa sorority.<\/p>\n


\nThe Newport resident was honored at halftime of a men\u2019s basketball game as part of Greek Life Day at Rhody Basketball. Alumni and students were able to connect and reconnect as well as celebrate the achievements of the Greek community. Fraternities and sororities have enjoyed a dynamic relationship with 溏心vlog免费B站 Athletics since the event was founded in 2008.

\nCinotti was recognized for a lifetime of dedicated service to her chapter and the Greek community. \u201cI felt surprised and honored to have received this award,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was so meaningful to be with my family and Sigma Kappa sisters there.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nA few years after graduating from 溏心vlog免费B站, Cinotti worked for the national Sigma Kappa Sorority as collegiate province officer and then collegiate district director. As director, Cinotti oversaw 31 Sigma Kappa chapters in the area. She also helped with leadership training and support for the Sigma Kappa sisters at local and national chapters.<\/p>\n


\nCinotti has been an instrumental volunteer leader for the Sigma Kappa housing corporation, serving as president on the housing board with four other Sigma Kappa alumnae. As president, she manages Sigma Kappa\u2019s property by assuring the physical maintenance of the house is kept up to date. The board most recently had a new kitchen installed in the 溏心vlog免费B站 chapter house and the patio renovated. She is also a dedicated member of Inter-fraternity Alumni Council, serving as vice president. Most recently, she\u2019s been assisting with alumni recruitment to get alumni more involved and is currently organizing a leadership development committee. Her work has benefited the entire Greek community. <\/p>\n
